Living in the SHINee World
Description
Miku is not what you would call an "average" teenager. No, she doesn't have superpowers, isn't some kind of a secret agent, and does not live in a pineapple under the sea, but her life isn't what you would call typical of a 16 year old girl. You see, her parents travel all around Asia, designing manga and anime characters for different companies, which is how an American Caucasian ended up with the name Miku in the first place. She doesn't have time to make friends on her travels, and would be far too shy anyways. She loves this life though, being an only child, homeschooled, and free to live out her days nose-deep in action and school books of all different languages. Well English, Chinese, Korean, or Japanese that is. The only thing she loves more than reading is her mom and dad, and her calico kitten, Calvin. So when a tragic accident takes away the people she holds closest to her, who could possibly save her from the misery? What shape could her life take when she doesn't even know the world outside her inch-thick glasses and inky paper? Well, she would need a knight in shining armor, right? Or maybe 5...

Foreword
"Come on Miku, we don't want to miss our flight!" Her dad smiled down into Miku's olive eyes, a perfect replica of his own, and led her, along with his wife, away from the sandwich shop and to the terminal.
"I'm so excited!" She exclaimed, still having difficulty ripping her eyes away from the pages of her book, as they handed the stewardess their boarding passes.
"I know sweetie, you're going to love South Korea." Her mom said happily. “I still can't believe we've never been there for business before. I mean, are they depriving their citizens of some good comics, or what?" She joked. "And now you finally get to hone in on the Korean language! I mean, all these years I was kind of wanting to switch out Korean with Tagalong or something, but now we can finally put that to use!"
Miku's stomach did a flip flop at the prospect of talking to anybody, fluent in Korean or Tagalong, or Pig Latin. "What's it like?" Miku said, hastily, trying to change the subject and still absorbed in her book about the modern civilization of eastern China.
"Well honey, we've only been to Jeju, you know for our anniversary last year, but if the rest of South Korea is half as awesome we will be in for quite a good year." Her dad recounted, ushering them down the tunnel to their plane.
When they walked through the doorway into the plane, Miku's excitement was growing unbearable, even though they still had a four hour flight out of Japan separating her from this whole new country. "So many new things to learn," Miku though as she buckled up, and stared out one last time at the beautiful city of Tokyo. "Bye, lovely Japan. See you in a year maybe? And let's give a warm annahaseo to Korea. Fighting!" She turned in her seat, and thought of the new culture that lay just beyond the horizon, and the one she way leaving behind, as the plane leapt from the ground and roared into flight.
